Book: A Season at the Grand

Author: Sherri Wilson Johnson

Genre: Christian Historical Romance

Release date: May 9, 2023

Can the perfect picture reveal the truth before it’s too late?

Photographer Amelia Harris has had enough of her aunts’ meddling matchmaking. So when The Photographic Times commissions her to spend the summer on Mobile Bay taking portraits of the elite and capturing nature for penny postcards, Amelia happily accepts. But this job is not as simple as it appears, and Amelia must defend against naysayers if she’s to ever gain respect in a man’s world. And that doesn’t leave any room for romance.

Point Clear Resort General Manager Titus Overton never wanted the position he inherited when his cousin passed away. If it were up to him, he would be travelling with the Audubon Society to far-off places, enjoying the solitude of nature instead of providing relaxation for his guests. And now he has to deal with the big-city photographer stomping her way through sand dunes that house the migratory birds nesting there. But when she reveals admiration for his feathered friends, it reawakens a longing in the heart he’d buried after the death of his fiancé.

When threats arise against Amelia and the other resort guests, Titus knows he must step in to help. But she insists they trust God for deliverance. How can he turn to a God who took away his first beloved?

As the danger closes in, he must find the courage to overcome his past before someone gets hurt—especially the woman he’s come to love.

My Thoughts on A Season at the Grand

I love a good historical romance novel.  This is one of those.  You’re going to love the sweet bayside setting.  And I would love to see the resort in person.  It sounds like somewhere I’d love to spend a few days. 

The story takes place in 1905.  This is not a time period that I’ve read a lot about as it’s not one that has intrigued me before.  But now I’m definitely intrigued.  A female photographer trying to make money with postcards of nature.  And a man who’d rather be bird-watching who is now running a resort. 

I enjoyed this novel and was pleased to know that it is part of a series.  However, this is one of those series that you don’t have to read in order.  It is written by different authors and they do not carry the same characters or plot.

I have voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from Celebrate Lit. All views expressed are only my honest opinion. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way. All opinions expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the FTC regulations.

She dreams of a second home on some beach somewhere someday, where she can plot and write romantically suspenseful novels.

More from Sherri

A Season at the Grand is set in Point Clear, Alabama on Mobile Bay because it is one of my favorite vacation spots. I adore sitting on the dock and watching dolphins while birds of all types fly overhead. I am always inspired by the ocean, and many stories have come from my time in the Mobile Bay area.

Point Clear is also the setting of my novella, Bayside Betrayal, which also involves the Grand Hotel but under a fictitious name. Bayside Betrayal is the launching story of my Jeopardized Reunions series, which is a series filled with contemporary reunion romantic suspense stories.

Why am I telling you about this series?

Well, book five, which I am writing now, holds a special attachment to A Season at the Grand because one of the characters is a descendant of the couple in the story. I’m so attached to this setting that I think I may have to keep writing stories set there for years to come. I hope you’ll also check out A Season at the Grand and my other books.

I’d love it if you’d follow me on social media and join my subscriber list. I’m always excited to hear from readers!
